Q: How do I measure my cabinet so I can purchase the right size mat?
A: First measure the outside of the cabinet from left to right of that base cabinet alone. Next you should measure the inside the cabinet from front to back on the inside ONLY.

See our product dimension for the bottom of the mat.
